Hi guys,
I just joined this group. I've been around MFP for two years now and my friends list definitely lacks runners. I'm looking for runner friends
Here's a little more about me. I'm Ben, 32, from Montréal, Canada. My mother tongue is French but I fluently speak English (duh). I'm a self-employed translator.
I've been running for three years, two years more seriously. I had hit a few PRs last summer but stopped cardio altogether in the cold months, then resumed in March. It took me four months to get back to my PR shape.
So I'm looking to improve my times, obviously. I run steadily 3-4 times per week, 5 or 10 km each time, sometimes at race-pace, sometimes at slow pace, sometimes in intervals. I focused on HM distance in the past but I switched to 10 km for this summer. I'm more of an intense guy. I'd rather semi-sprint for 45 minutes than run slower for 2 hours. Just a personal preference.
I'm currently registered for a few races, including Montreal's 10k with 6000 other runners. This is in less than three months. I hope to be amongst the top 150 in that event. I need to lower my PR a little to get there.
For the record, here at my PRs :
5 km - 23:49 (June 2015)
10 km - 47:50 (June 2015)
HM - 1:59:00 (August 2014)
Otherwise, besides running, I also play soccer/football on a weekly basis, for a team. I also go to the gym 3 to 5 times per week for weightlifting.
Add me I'm a supportive and active friends
